After 44 years of operation, the Marion Aquatics Centre will close its doors on June 30.
The Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, who have operated the pool since it opened in 1977, announced the decision in a joint media release with the City of Prince Albert on Monday.
Sr. Lise Paquette, the provincial superior of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, said the pool has been a huge benefit for all who used it, but Sisters didn’t have the resources to keep it open.
“It is a difficult decision,” Paquette said during a phone interview on Tuesday. “We are sad to let it go, and yet, it is time to do it. We’ve carried this institution for many years, and sometimes, with a good thing, you have to let it go at the right time.”
